1. What Happened? Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Prestige Biopharma reported KRW 5.7 billion in revenue, KRW -15.2 billion in operating income, and KRW -9.8 billion in net income for Q3 2025. While revenue increased year-over-year, both operating and net income remained negative. The revenue growth was driven by TuNEX® (HD201) European approval and related milestone revenue, drug substance sales, and growth in the CDMO business.
2. Why These Results? Analyzing the Factors
- Positive Factors: TuNEX® European approval and milestone revenue recognition, CDMO business segment growth
- Negative Factors: High fixed costs including R&D expenses, accumulated deficit of approximately KRW 190 billion, foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuation risks, ongoing litigation and disputes
3. What’s Next? Investment Strategies
Short-term Strategy: TuNEX®’s European approval offers positive momentum but proceed with caution given continued losses.
Long-term Strategy: Long-term growth potential exists, contingent on successful US FDA approval and commercialization of TuNEX®, along with sustained growth of the CDMO business. Continuous monitoring of risk factors such as R&D failures, regulatory changes, and increased competition is crucial.
4. Future Outlook and Considerations
Successful US market entry for TuNEX® and continued expansion of the CDMO business will be key drivers of future value. Investors should closely monitor risks related to foreign exchange, interest rate fluctuations, and ongoing litigation.
